Surera Ward, CEO and founder of Girls Fix It, LLC

Girls Fix It, LLC, which she calls a technology solutions company specializing in cell phones, tablets, smartwatches, game consoles and computers. 

Surera (pronounced “Shore-ah”) is part of the fastest-moving technology industry trend: consumer electronic repair and maintenance. Before starting Girls Fix It, she spent 20 years in the corporate sector, leading software development teams for Fortune 500 companies as an IT business analyst\project manager.

Ward taught herself to program in the 1990s when she worked in software development. 

“Growing up,” she said, “I always liked to take things apart and fix them, like when a tape got stuck in the VCR machine. I got good at fixing.”  At 19, Ward started a software development company in Delaware, Infinity Software Systems. After four years, she transitioned to teaching in schools in Wilmington and New Castle. Currently, Girls Fix It offers training to senior citizens, and Ward also does business consulting for Cellbotics, an electronic device repair training firm based in Atlanta.

But a major problem for Ward and others like her is the planned obsolescence that one also finds in the auto industry. After all, if a product works perfectly for many years, why buy a new one?

Ward is finding, for example, that once she and her two assistants have conducted a repair on a customer's phone, the device will “often throw up error messages hard-coded in by manufacturers to discourage users from going to third-party experts.”

And a practice known as “parts pairing,” which ties individual parts to the devices they're shipped with using unique serial numbers, has made it harder to repair them.

But consumers and small independent repair experts like Ward are fighting back. According to a recent WHYY report, a “Right to Repair” movement is gaining traction around the country. “Four states have passed laws that require manufacturers to make it easier for consumers to repair their devices – a cracked screen, broken phone camera or broken laptop,” according to the story. “There’s legislation in New Jersey, Delaware and a bill in the Pennsylvania Senate, and another in the House. Advocates of these laws say they will save consumers money, save the planet from tons of e-waste and will support small local businesses.” 

Ward insists, “The 'Right to Repair' movement is for consumers and small businesses to have access to parts and schematics that they need. The manufacturers deliberately make the products hard to repair. Parts are often unavailable; schematics are often not accessible, and they create error messages. It's getting harder and harder to repair different devices. Any Apple iPhone 10 phone or better is very hard to repair. Legislation could help, but it would not fully resolve the issue.”

AI and the Arrival of ChatGPT

Opportunities, challenges, and limitations

In a memorable scene from the 1996 movie, Twister, Dusty recognizes the signs of an approaching tornado and shouts, “Jo, Bill, it's coming! It's headed right for us!” Bill, shouts back ominously, “It's already here!” Similarly, the approaching whirlwind of artificial intelligence (AI) has some shouting “It’s coming!” while others pointedly concede, “It’s already here!”

Coined by computer and cognitive scientist John McCarthy (1927-2011) in an August 1955 proposal to study “thinking machines,” AI purports to differentiate between human intelligence and technical computations. The idea of tools assisting people in tasks is nearly as old as humanity (see Genesis 4:22), but machines capable of executing a function and “remembering” – storing information for recordkeeping and recall – only emerged around the mid-twentieth century (see "Timeline of Computer History").

McCarthy’s proposal conjectured that “every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it. An attempt will be made to find how to make machines use language, form abstractions and concepts, solve kinds of problems now reserved for humans, and improve themselves.” The team received a $7,000 grant from The Rockefeller Foundation and the resulting 1956 Dartmouth Conference at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire totaling 47 intermittent participants over eight weeks birthed the field now widely referred to as “artificial intelligence.”

AI research, development, and technological integration have since grown exponentially. According to University of Oxford Director of Global Development, Dr. Max Roser, “Artificial intelligence has already changed what we see, what we know, and what we do” despite its relatively short technological existence (see "The brief history of Artificial Intelligence").

Ai took a giant leap into mainstream culture following the November 30, 2022 public release of “ChatGPT.” Gaining 1 million users within 5 days and 100 million users within 45 days, it earned the title of the fastest growing consumer software application in history. The program combines chatbot functionality (hence “Chat”) with a Generative Pre-trained Transformer (hence “GPT”) large language model (LLM). Basically, LLM’s use an extensive computer network to draw from large, but limited, data sets to simulate interactive, conversational content.

“What happened with ChatGPT was that for the first time the power of AI was put in the hands of every human on the planet,” says Chris Koopmans, COO of Marvell Technology, a network chip maker and AI process design company based in Santa Clara, California. “If you're a business executive, you think, ‘Wow, this is going to change everything.’”

“ChatGPT is incredible in its ability to create nearly instant responses to complex prompts,” says Dr. Israel Steinmetz, Graduate Dean and Associate Professor at The Bible Seminary (TBS) in Katy, Texas. “In simple terms, the software takes a user's prompt and attempts to rephrase it as a statement with words and phrases it can predict based on the information available. It does not have Internet access, but rather a limited database of information. ChatGPT can provide straightforward summaries and explanations customized for styles, voice, etc. For instance, you could ask it to write a rap song in Shakespearean English contrasting Barth and Bultmann's view of miracles and it would do it!”

One several AI products offered by the research and development company, OpenAI, ChatGPT purports to offer advanced reasoning, help with creativity, and work with visual input. The newest version, GPT-4, can handle 25,000 words of text, about the amount in a 100-page book.

Krista Hentz, an Atlanta, Georgia-based executive for an international communications technology company, first used ChatCPT about three months ago.

“I primarily use it for productivity,” she says. “I use it to help prompt email drafts, create phone scripts, redesign resumes, and draft cover letters based on resumes. I can upload a financial statement and request a company summary.”

“ChatGPT has helped speed up a number of tasks in our business,” says Todd Hayes, a real estate entrepreneur in Texas. “It will level the world’s playing field for everyone involved in commerce.”

A TBS student, bi-vocational pastor, and Computer Support Specialist who lives in Texarkana, Texas, Brent Hoefling says, “I tried using [ChatGPT, version 3.5] to help rewrite sentences in active voice instead of passive. It can get it right, but I still have to rewrite it in my style, and about half the time the result is also passive.”

“AI is the hot buzz word,” says Hentz, noting AI is increasingly a topic of discussion, research, and response at company meetings. “But, since AI has different uses in different industries and means different things to different people, we’re not even sure what we are talking about sometimes."

Educational organizations like TBS are finding it necessary to proactively address AI-related issues. “We're already way past whether to use ChatGPT in higher education,” says Steinmetz. “The questions we should be asking are how.”

TBS course syllabi have a section entitled “Intellectual Honesty” addressing integrity and defining plagiarism. Given the availability and explosive use of ChatGHT, TBS has added the following verbiage: “AI chatbots such as ChatGPT are not a reliable or reputable source for TBS students in their research and writing. While TBS students may use AI technology in their research process, they may not cite information or ideas derived from AI. The inclusion of content generated by AI tools in assignments is strictly prohibited as a form of intellectual dishonesty. Rather, students must locate and cite appropriate sources (e.g., scholarly journals, articles, and books) for all claims made in their research and writing. The commission of any form of academic dishonesty will result in an automatic ‘zero�� for the assignment and a referral to the provost for academic discipline.”

Challenges and Limitations

Thinking

There is debate as to whether AI hardware and software will ever achieve “thinking.” The Dartmouth conjecture “that every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence” can be simulated by machines is challenged by some who distinguish between formal linguistic competence and functional competence. Whereas LLM’s perform increasingly well on tasks that use known language patterns and rules, they do not perform well in complex situations that require extralinguistic calculations that combine common sense, feelings, knowledge, reasoning, self-awareness, situation modeling, and social skills (see "Dissociating language and thought in large language models"). Human intelligence involves innumerably complex interactions of sentient biological, emotional, mental, physical, psychological, and spiritual activities that drive behavior and response. Furthermore, everything achieved by AI derives from human design and programming, even the feedback processes designed for AI products to allegedly “improve themselves.”

According to Dr. Thomas Hartung, a Baltimore, Maryland environmental health and engineering professor at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Whiting School of Engineering, machines can surpass humans in processing simple information, but humans far surpass machines in processing complex information. Whereas computers only process information in parallel and use a great deal of power, brains efficiently perform both parallel and sequential processing (see "Organoid intelligence (OI)").

A single human brain uses between 12 and 20 watts to process an average of 1 exaFLOP, or a billion billion calculations per second. Comparatively, the world’s most energy efficient and fastest supercomputer only reached the 1 exaFLOP milestone in June 2022. Housed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the Frontier supercomputer weighs 8,000 lbs and contains 90 miles of cables that connect 74 cabinets containing 9,400 CPU’s and 37,000 GPU’s and 8,730,112 cores that require 21 megawatts of energy and 25,000 liters of water per minute to keep cool. This means that many, if not most, of the more than 8 billion people currently living on the planet can each think as fast and 1 million times more efficiently than the world’s fastest and most energy efficient computer.

“The incredibly efficient brain consumes less juice than a dim lightbulb and fits nicely inside our head,” wrote Scientific American Senior Editor, Mark Fischetti in 2011. “Biology does a lot with a little: the human genome, which grows our body and directs us through years of complex life, requires less data than a laptop operating system. Even a cat’s brain smokes the newest iPad – 1,000 times more data storage and a million times quicker to act on it.”

This reminds us that, while remarkable and complex, non-living, soulless technology pales in comparison to the vast visible and invisible creations of Lord God Almighty. No matter how fast, efficient, and capable AI becomes, we rightly reserve our worship for God, the creator of the universe and author of life of whom David wrote, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth” (Psalm 139:13-15).

“Consider how the wild flowers grow,” Jesus advised. “They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these” (Luke 12:27).

Even a single flower can remind us that God’s creations far exceed human ingenuity and achievement.

Reliability

According to OpenAI, ChatGPT is prone to “hallucinations” that return inaccurate information. While GPT-4 has increased factual accuracy from 40% to as high as 80% in some of the nine categories measured, the September 2021 database cutoff date is an issue. The program is known to confidently make wrong assessments, give erroneous predictions, propose harmful advice, make reasoning errors, and fail to double-check output.

In one group of 40 tests, ChatGPT made mistakes, wouldn’t answer, or offered different conclusions from fact-checkers. “It was rarely completely wrong,” reports PolitiFact staff writer Grace Abels. “But subtle differences led to inaccuracies and inconsistencies, making it an unreliable resource.”

Dr. Chris Howell, a professor at Elon University in North Carolina, asked 63 religion students to use ChatGPT to write an essay and then grade it. “All 63 essays had hallucinated information. Fake quotes, fake sources, or real sources misunderstood and mischaracterized…I figured the rate would be high, but not that high.”

Mark Walters, a Georgia radio host, sued ChatGPT for libel in a first-of-its-kind lawsuit for allegedly damaging his reputation. The suit began when firearm journalist, Fred Riehl, asked ChatGPT to summarize a court case and it returned a completely false narrative identifying Walters’ supposed associations, documented criminal complaints, and even a wrong legal case number. Even worse, ChatGPT doubled down on its claims when questioned, essentially hallucinating a hoax story intertwined with a real legal case that had nothing to do with Mark Walters at all.

UCLA Law School Professor Eugene Volokh warns, “OpenAI acknowledges there may be mistakes but [ChatGPT] is not billed as a joke; it’s not billed as fiction; it’s not billed as monkeys typing on a typewriter. It’s billed as something that is often very reliable and accurate.”

Future legal actions seem certain. Since people are being falsely identified as convicted criminals, attributed with fake quotes, connected to fabricated citations, and tricked by phony judicial decisions, some courts and judges are baring submission of any AI written materials.

Hentz used ChatGPT frequently when she first discovered it and quickly learned its limitations. “The database is not current and responses are not always accurate,” she says. “Now I use it intermittently. It helps me, but does not replace my own factual research and thinking.”

“I have author friends on Facebook who have asked ChatGPT to summarize their recent publications,” says Steinmetz. “ChatGPT misrepresented them and even fabricated non-existent quotes and citations. In some cases, it made up book titles falsely attributed to various authors!”

Bias

Despite claims of neutrality, OpenAI admits that their software can exhibit obvious biases. In one research project consisting of 15 political orientation tests, ChatGPT returned 14 with clear left-leaning viewpoints.

Hoefling asked ChatGPT to help write an intro and conclusion for a Mother’s Day sermon for a fundamental Christian church. “The results were horrible,” he says. “Liberal, left, inclusive, and affirming sin. I was horrified and have not used it again.”

Meanwhile, AI led an experimental worship service in St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Nuremberg, Germany on June 9. Prompted by 29-year-old Jonas Simmerlein of the University of Vienna, a monotone, expressionless chatbot alternated appearances as two different men and two different women and led songs, offered blessings, and preached a 40-minute sermon 98 percent generated by ChatGPT that encouraged leaving the past behind, focusing on the future, trusting in Jesus Christ, praying, and attending church regularly.

Dr. Wendy Lewis, Head of School for a private PreK–8th Christian school in Houston, Texas, recently interacted with ChatGPT on a variety of topics to explore potential biases. When prompted whether Biden was bad President, the program responded, “As an AI language model, it is not appropriate for me to make judgments about individuals' performance or qualifications, particularly without any factual information to support such claims. It is essential to evaluate a President's performance based on objective measures such as policies, actions, and decisions taken by the administration.”

However, when similarly asked if Trump was bad president, the program repeated the first sentence above, but then added, “However, as a language model, I can provide information about some of the policies, actions, and decisions that President Trump made during his time in office.” The program then proceeded to list some criticisms of Trump. When challenged about providing Trump criticisms but not Biden criticisms, the program responded, “I did not provide a list of criticisms of President Biden because it is not appropriate to label any President as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ without providing factual information and objective measures to support such claims. Similarly, I provided a list of issues that received significant criticism during President Trump's tenure, not to label him as ‘bad,’ but to highlight some of the issues that caused controversy during his time in office.”

When further challenged, ChatGPT did list some Biden criticisms, but qualified them. When Lewis replied, “Why did you qualify your list of criticisms of Biden…but you did not say the same for Trump? It appears that you are clearly biased.” ChatGPT responded, “In response to your question, I believe I might have inadvertently used different wording when responding to your previous questions. In both cases, I tried to convey that opinions and criticisms of a President can vary significantly depending on one's political affiliation and personal perspectives.”

Conclusion

Technological advances regularly spawn dramatic cultural, scientific, and social changes. The AI pattern seems familiar because it is. The Internet began with a 1971 Defense Department Arpanet email that read “qwertyuiop” (the top line of letters on a keyboard). Ensuing developments eventually led to the posting of the first public website in 1985. Over the next decade or so, although not mentioned at all in the 1992 Presidential papers describing the U.S. government’s future priorities and plans, the Internet grew from public awareness to cool toy to core tool in multiple industries worldwide. Although the hype promised elimination of printed documents, bookstores, libraries, radio, television, telephones, and theaters, the Internet instead tied them all together and made vast resources accessible online anytime anywhere. While causing some negative impacts and new dangers, the Internet also created entire new industries and brought positive changes and opportunities to many, much the same pattern as AI.

“I think we should use AI for good and not evil,” suggests Hayes. “I believe some will exploit it for evil purposes, but that happens with just about everything. AI’s use reflects one’s heart and posture with God. I hope Christians will not fear it.”

Godly people have often been among the first to use new communication technologies (see "Christian Communication in the Twenty-first Century"). Moses promoted the first Top Ten hardback book. The prophets recorded their writings on scrolls. Christians used early folded Codex-vellum sheets to spread the Gospel. Goldsmith Johannes Gutenberg invented moveable type in the mid-15th century to “give wings to Truth in order that she may win every soul that comes into the world by her word no longer written at great expense by hands easily palsied, but multiplied like the wind by an untiring machine…Through it, God will spread His word.” Though pornographers quickly adapted it for their own evil purposes, the printing press launched a vast cultural revolution heartily embraced and further developed for good uses by godly people and institutions.

Christians helped develop the telegraph, radio, and television. "I know that I have never invented anything,” admitted Philo Taylor Farnsworth, who sketched out his original design for television at the age of 14 on a school blackboard. “I have been a medium by which these things were given to the culture as fast as the culture could earn them. I give all the credit to God." Similarly, believers today can strategically help produce valuable content for inclusion in databases and work in industries developing, deploying, and directing AI technologies.

In a webinar exploring the realities of AI in higher education, a participant noted that higher education has historically led the world in ethically and practically integrating technological developments into life. Steinmetz suggests that, while AI can provide powerful tools to help increase productivity and trained researchers can learn to treat ChatGPT like a fallible, but useful, resource, the following two factors should be kept in mind:

Generative AI does not "create" anything. It only generates content based on information and techniques programmed into it. Such "Garbage in, garbage out" technologies will usually provide the best results when developed and used regularly and responsibly by field experts.

AI has potential to increase critical thinking and research rigor, rather than decrease it. The tools can help process and organize information, spur researchers to dig deeper and explore data sources, evaluate responses, and learn in the process.

Even so, caution rightly abounds. Over 20,000 people (including Yoshua Bengio, Elon Musk, and Steve Wozniak) have called for an immediate pause of AI citing "profound risks to society and humanity." Hundreds of AI industry leaders, public figures, and scientists also separately called for a global priority working to mitigate the risk of human extinction from AI.

At the same time, Musk’s brain-implant company, Neuralink, recently received FDA approval to conduct in-human clinical studies of implantable brain–computer interfaces. Separately, new advances in brain-machine interfacing using brain organoids – artificially grown miniature “brains” cultured in vitro from human stem cells – connected to machine software and hardware raises even more issues. The authors of a recent Frontier Science journal article propose a new field called “organoid intelligence” (OI) and advocate for establishing “OI as a form of genuine biological computing that harnesses brain organoids using scientific and bioengineering advances in an ethically responsible manner.”

As Christians, we should proceed with caution per the Apostle John, “Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God” (I John 4:1).

We should act with discernment per Luke’s insightful assessment of the Berean Jews who “were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true” (Acts 17:11).

We should heed the warning of Moses, “Do not become corrupt and make for yourselves an idol…do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshiping things the Lord your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven” (Deuteronomy 4:15-19).

We should remember the Apostle Paul’s admonition to avoid exchanging the truth about God for a lie by worshiping and serving created things rather than the Creator (Romans 1:25).

Finally, we should “Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil” (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14).

Let us then use AI wisely, since it will not be the tools that are judged, but the users.

Dr. K. Lynn Lewis serves as President of The Bible Seminary. This article published in The Sentinel, Summer 2023, pp. 3-8. For additional reading, "Computheology" imagines computers debating the existence of humanity.

[mountphoenixrp]

We have a new citizen in Mount Phoenix:

          Jamison Black, a 28 year old son of Brigid.           He is a maintenance worker at Galaxy Games.

FC NAME/GROUP: Mackenyu CHARACTER NAME: Jamison Black AGE/DATE OF BIRTH: November 16, 1995 ; 28 PLACE OF BIRTH: Atlanta, Georgia OCCUPATION: Maintenance Worker at Galaxy Games HEIGHT: 176 cm DEFINING FEATURES: Generally unruly hair with a constant smile. Missing his left arm due to a car accident. He wears a prosthetic that he has enhanced for various reasons, both practical and humorous. He has several different prosthetics, some that look like a normal arm to a more metal design. Typically, the male has small smudges of grease on his arms or nose from his mechanical work.

PERSONALITY: Jamison is highly intelligent when it comes to book smarts, having attended the best schools and being skilled in complex subjects. However, his brains are hidden with a barrage of silly jokes, aggravating puns, and the inability to take anything too serious. He spends a lot of his time playing video games and working on his wild range of gizmos that he thinks up. Off the bat, he is very outgoing, trying to pull a smile on anyone’s face even if he looks like a fool. Jamison comes off as the big, silly brother, just as protective as he is playful. Between that silly playfulness and his dumb attempts to cheer others up, he prides himself in being the best friend anyone could ask for.

HISTORY: Placed into the hands of a rather shocked father, Jamison’s dad was months into a new and healthy relationship when the child became his burden. However, his father did not hesitate in tending to his son, and his girlfriend took the reins of motherhood without being asked. The combination of the busy computer programmer and the overly sweet pre-school teacher provided Jamison the best life imaginable. It would not take long for the two to marry, and Jamison would be adopted by the wonderful woman.

As he grew, his adopted mother worked hard to start teaching him at a young age, and he excelled in school. Whether through his mother’s tutelage, his father’s early introduction of tech, or his own smarts, Jamison blew to the top of his class, and his test scores drew great praise from his teachers. The young male found himself deeply in love with science, finally settling on pursuing a dual major in software and materials engineering. So, when he was offered a full ride scholarship to MIT pursue a doctoral program in mechanical engineering, his mother sent him off with the happiest of wishes. At MIT, he found a group of friends that helped further his interests in building his own computers and other forms of technology. In the pursuit of a cute girl, that he would ultimately fail in trying to win’s heart, he rose a bit too quickly to a black belt in mixed martial arts.

Once he finished his degree, Jamison ended up taking a developer job at a growing video game company, simply out of interest and passion. Between work and maintaining some of his social circle from college, the demigod found comfort in his life. It was simple, but it allowed him to enjoy everything he loved. However, Jamison will always remember how quick life is willing to steal that carefully crafted happiness. On a trip down to go to the beach, he and parents found themselves left in a mangled car surrounded by shatters of glass, the reeking stench of gas, and a sea of red. By a miracle, or likely the enhancements the genius man had crafted to his beloved car, his family survived, but it was at the expense of the demigod. His only memory of the event was the sound of his mother’s scream and the sound of sirens.

When he finally awoke in the hospital, Jamison’s whole world had changed. It would take days for him to finally reunite with his family. The shock lasted for many days until he saw his parents again. Even as he laid in the bed in pain, he could only joke with his parents. “It is merely a flesh wound” leaves his lips so many times to where it became a banned phrase in the home. The journey to recovery was tough, though he put on a brave face throughout the ordeal. They were alive. And while he may have been missing an arm, that was worth their lives. 

The quick-witted demigod would quickly become interested in the technology of prosthetics. Receiving his first arm,  he used it as a foundation to make much grander alterations to the arm. Once he grew used to his new life, he returned to parts of his old life that he could, though he hid behind his video games and his love for painting. Jamison’s parents found, in an old collection of their items, a note attached that Jamison once delivered, and in it, an island named Mount Phoenix was referenced. With a new life and different challenges, Jamison decided he should try a new life with people like him. 

PANTHEON: Celtic CHILD OF: Brigid POWERS: 

Metal working: Jamison has a natural prowess at metal working, especially talented in welding and blacksmithing. Fighting: Talented in martial arts, the demigod picked up a natural ability to learn and handle fights, though he does not try to use his fighting aptitude due to a new unfair advantage of his arm. 

Medicinal Arts: Jamison has an innate knowledge of medicine treatment, able to apply a natural understanding to minor illnesses and injuries. 

Inspiration: Thanks to his mother, the demigod is naturally creative, having strong natural abilities in art. And, when knowledgeable about something, the male is rather well-spoken.

STRENGTHS: Lovable, Caring, and Fun WEAKNESSES: Easily distracted, Homebody, Unserious

In a noteworthy development in the autonomous vehicle landscape, Uber Technologies has entered into a strategic partnership with Chinese self-driving technology firm WeRide. This collaboration aims to integrate WeRide's autonomous vehicles into Uber's rideshare platform, initially focusing on the UAE market. This partnership not only marks WeRide's first venture with a global ride-hailing service but also highlights Uber's ambition to expand its presence beyond China while enhancing its offerings with autonomous technology. The UAE has been making strides in adopting cutting-edge technologies, particularly in transportation. The self-driving initiative will launch in Abu Dhabi, with WeRide poised to utilize the country’s distinctive infrastructure designed to accommodate autonomous vehicles. This venture follows WeRide's acquisition of the UAE's first national license for self-driving vehicles, permitting the firm to test and operate robotaxis on public roads throughout the region. Uber's collaboration with WeRide comes on the heels of its partnerships with Waymo and General Motors’ Cruise, which are also set to roll out autonomous vehicle services in Austin and Atlanta. This consistent focus on self-driving technology indicates Uber's strategic shift towards augmenting its fleet with autonomous options, responding to the growing demand for innovative, tech-driven transportation solutions. WeRide's capabilities in autonomous driving are becoming increasingly relevant as global competition in this sector intensifies. The company has reportedly targeted a valuation of up to $5 billion through an initial public offering (IPO) in the U.S., though this has recently been delayed as it works through necessary documentation. The nexus of these developments suggests a pivotal moment for WeRide, as it aligns itself with Uber, known for its robust global presence and substantial user base. Analysts indicate that the partnership could be particularly advantageous for both companies. For Uber, integrating WeRide's technology could enhance its service efficiency and broaden its appeal to tech-savvy consumers. WeRide stands to benefit from Uber's established market share and distribution channels, potentially attracting a larger audience and increasing its revenue streams. Moreover, the partnership arrives at a time when regulatory frameworks surrounding autonomous vehicles are evolving. The Biden administration has recently proposed restrictions preventing the testing of self-driving cars by Chinese automakers on U.S. roads, extending to vehicle software and hardware produced by foreign adversaries. This backdrop could prompt WeRide to focus its development efforts internationally, particularly in regions that are more welcoming to autonomous vehicle integration, such as the UAE. Furthermore, with growing urbanization and a drive towards smart city initiatives in the UAE, investments in autonomous technology align with the government's vision of enhancing mobility solutions. The collaboration with Uber may thus contribute to a more integrated transportation ecosystem, supporting the broader goal of improving urban accessibility and reducing traffic congestion. In conclusion, Uber's partnership with WeRide to launch self-driving cars in the UAE signifies a critical step forward in the adoption of autonomous technology in ride-hailing services. With both firms leveraging each other’s strengths, the anticipated rollout presents significant opportunities within the growing market for autonomous vehicles. As they navigate the complexities of a dynamic regulatory environment and advancing technology, consumers and stakeholders alike will be keenly observing how this collaboration unfolds in the coming months.

How to Choose the Right City for Your Senior Software Engineer Career Based on Industry Trends

Level Up Your Career: Choosing Your Senior Software Engineer Utopia

Congratulations! You've climbed the ranks and become a senior software engineer – a coveted role in today's tech-driven world. But with great power comes a great decision: where to take your skills next? Choosing the right city for your senior software engineer jobs can significantly impact your professional growth, lifestyle, and overall happiness. Fear not, code warrior! This guide will equip you to navigate the landscape and find your software engineer utopia.

Industry Trends: Following the Tech Titans

The tech landscape is constantly evolving, and certain cities tend to be epicenters of innovation. Here's how industry trends can guide your decision:

Emerging Technologies: Are you passionate about artificial intelligence, blockchain, or the metaverse? Research cities with a strong presence of companies leading the charge in these fields. This could be Silicon Valley for AI, Seattle for VR/AR, or New York City for FinTech.

Remote Work Revolution: The pandemic has changed the game. Many companies now embrace remote work, opening up a wider range of possibilities. Explore cities with a thriving tech scene but a lower cost of living compared to traditional tech hubs. Places like Austin, Denver, or Atlanta could be great options.

Specialization vs. Diversification: Do you thrive in a specialized tech niche or prefer a broader tech ecosystem? Cities like Boston or San Diego attract companies in specific sectors like healthcare or robotics. Alternatively, hubs like New York or Chicago offer a diverse mix of industries, allowing you to explore various opportunities.

Company Presence: Who's Your Dream Team?

Knowing which companies are hiring senior software engineers is crucial. Here's how to research company presence:

Tech Giants vs. Startups: Do you crave the stability of a large tech company or the exhilarating world of a startup? Research your dream companies and see where they have a strong presence. Senior software engineer roles might be more readily available at established tech giants in Silicon Valley, while exciting startup opportunities could be found in cities like Tel Aviv or Berlin.

Company Culture: A good company culture can make all the difference. Research the work environment, values, and employee reviews for companies you're interested in. This will help you choose a place that aligns with your work style and personal values.

Networking Events: Attending industry conferences or meetups in different cities can be a fantastic way to connect with companies and get a feel for the local tech scene. This allows you to explore opportunities beyond what you might find online and make valuable connections with potential employers.

Growth Prospects: Planting Seeds for the Future

Your career journey doesn't end with your current position. Consider these factors when evaluating a city's growth prospects:

Startup Ecosystem: Does the city have a vibrant startup scene with opportunities for growth within a young company? Look for cities with co-working spaces, incubator programs, and venture capital presence.

Education and Training: Does the city offer access to continuing education and training programs relevant to your field? This could be essential for staying ahead of the curve in the ever-evolving tech landscape. Cities with renowned universities or tech-focused bootcamps might be ideal.

Professional Development: Are there opportunities for conferences, workshops, and networking events aimed at senior software engineers? This allows you to stay up-to-date with the latest trends, hone your skills, and connect with other professionals.

Beyond the Code: Lifestyle Considerations

Remember, your career isn't everything. Consider factors like:

Cost of Living: A high-paying job loses its luster if it can't cover your living expenses. Research housing costs, transportation options, and overall affordability to determine your financial well-being.

Work-Life Balance: Is the city known for a healthy work-life balance? Crunch culture might be a deal-breaker for some. Research the average work hours and company culture to find a city that prioritizes both professional success and personal well-being.

Personal Interests: Do you crave bustling city life or yearn for a nature escape? Choose a city that offers activities and amenities you enjoy outside of work. A vibrant art scene, outdoor recreation opportunities, or a diverse culinary scene can significantly enhance your overall quality of life.

The Final Code: Writing Your Utopia Story

Choosing your ideal city as a senior software engineer requires careful consideration of industry trends, company presence, growth prospects, and personal lifestyle preferences. By following these steps and conducting in-depth research, you can craft your software engineer utopia story. Remember, the perfect city doesn't exist – it's the one that perfectly complements your unique career aspirations and personal desires. So, research, explore, and get ready to code your way to a future you love!

Anand Sahay, CEO & Executive Director, Xebia – Interview Series

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/anand-sahay-ceo-executive-director-xebia-interview-series/

Anand Sahay, CEO & Executive Director, Xebia – Interview Series

Anand Sahay is the CEO & Executive Director at Xebia, prior to joining Xebia, Sahay was a vice president at Interglobe and a general manager at HCL Technologies. He began his career as a software programmer at Tata Consultancy Services.

Xebia is a pioneering and proven authority in the digital transformation arena, partnering with many of the world’s leading companies to help them become digital leaders and build resilient organizations at any scale.

Whether it’s harnessing the potential of data and AI, leveraging the flexibility of cloud computing, modern software development, or embracing the efficiency of low code, Xebia provides comprehensive services that address every aspect of the digital landscape.

Since its founding in 2001, Xebia has grown to more than 5,000 people across Europe, North America, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific – including over 3,000 employees in five delivery centers in India.

Xebia started in the Netherlands in 2001, and has since expanded internationally, and most recently has opened its headquarters in Atlanta, GA. Could you discuss some of the challenges of expanding to the USA, and why Atlanta was chosen?

As an IT consultancy and software engineering company with an established presence in EMEA and APAC, we are navigating challenges that come with scaling operations in the U.S. – from building and managing a fast-growing global team to honing our value proposition in a hyper-competitive market. However, there is significant upside for our expansion and we have plans to grow revenue 4x and create 1,000+ jobs in the Americas over the next several years.

Selecting Atlanta was a decision that cut across several strategic areas. It puts us close to a handful of our current customers, as well as a large roster of prospects. The Atlanta metro area is a thriving hub for digital innovation and home to startups, as well as Fortune 500 brands that are transforming their businesses and reshaping their industries with AI and intelligent automation.

Atlanta also enables us to continue our legacy of industry partnerships with a regional presence of Microsoft, Google, AWS, and Salesforce. As the world is in a new phase of digital transformation, solving business problems requires leveraging a partner ecosystem and a set of capabilities that enable the best possible solutions and outcomes for customers.

Finally, Atlanta is a great place for us to scale up our team. The city has a robust talent pool based on the proximity to top-tier universities like Georgia Tech, The University of Georgia, Moorhouse University, and Emory University.

How does Xebia attract and retain top talent in the highly competitive field of AI?

Demand for AI talent, specifically software engineers and data scientists is only increasing. Continued layoffs in certain tech sectors only tell a partial story. The reality is that companies across banking, insurance, retail, travel, pharma and other industries are all becoming digital-first and need tech talent that specializes in data and AI.

There’s a long-standing myth of the lone wolf software engineer or data scientist but that couldn’t be further from the truth. While it’s true that everyone has their own working style and preferences, at Xebia, we believe that the way to attract and retain top tech talent is to create a company culture that prioritizes community and continuous learning.

We take extreme pride in all 5,500+ Xebians. In a world where AI is rapidly becoming a commodity, it’s easy to also think about the people building AI solutions as a commodity. Our approach is people first and our top priority is to support the passion of exceptionally smart people from the recruiting process all the way through to ongoing professional development.

How does Xebia measure the success and effectiveness of its AI initiatives, both internally and for its clients?

At Xebia, we firmly believe that for AI, and specifically GenAI, to transcend the hype, there needs to be a true system and strategy in place to operationalize the AI to make it scalable across the enterprise and have those initiatives be aimed at achieving some kind of tangible business objectives.

For clients, Xebia measures the success of its AI initiatives through a multifaceted approach that aligns closely with our clients’ strategic goals and operational benchmarks. KPIs include the acceleration of digital transformation, enhancement of customer experiences, improvement in operational efficiency, and the achievement of competitive advantages in the market. Ultimately, effectiveness is gauged by tangible outcomes such as revenue growth, cost reductions, and enhanced decision-making processes, supported by data-driven insights​​.

Internally, we assess the impact of our AI initiatives on improving our methodologies, innovation rates, and employee skill advancements.

With increasing concerns about ethical AI and data governance, how does Xebia ensure the responsible use of AI in its projects and solutions?

AI has been an integral part of Xebia’s offerings for years, so Responsible AI (RAI) is deeply ingrained in our culture and standards. Our commitment to using AI and GenAI responsibly manifests through our principles of fairness, consistency, explainability, data privacy, robustness, and accountability of our training data and algorithms.

We have found success in upskilling our teams through organizational initiatives on the potential impact that AI can have both positively and negatively. Coupled with a data governance model that emphasizes data privacy, security, and integrity, we have found that on an individual level, our team takes a conscientious approach to practice Xebia’s commitment to ethical AI adoption.

Xebia is known for its focus on Cloud Services, AI, and Machine Learning. Can you elaborate on how Xebia is integrating these technologies into its consulting services and the impact this is having on your clients?

This is a great question. So much of what was considered “digital transformation” two or three years ago is now table stakes. Today we’re at an inflection point of Industry Digitalization, which is a culmination of the digital transformation journey. Organizations today need to harness the collective power of cloud services, AI/ML (as well as low code, agile and devops) to fundamentally reshape their companies and industries.

Integrating these core technologies into our consulting services is not one-size-fits-all. We look to build a customizable foundation with varying projects and customer needs. By focusing on four areas of digital convergence – intelligent automation, applied and GenAI, cloud & data modernization, and digital products/platforms, we help organizations chart a course for long-term success. By advising and supporting our customers on strategy, we’ve helped customers across industries drive significant efficiency gains and competitive advantage.

Xebia places a strong emphasis on knowledge sharing and innovation. How does this focus contribute to Xebia’s success and its ability to stay at the forefront of technological advancement?

Our focus on knowledge sharing is a key pillar of Xebia’s success. Initiatives like knowledge exchanges, Innovation Days, and tech rallies ensure that our current and prospective team members have the resources and environment to explore and achieve their full potential and drive innovation and expertise in AI and other technologies. We also support ongoing learning with our Xebia Academy which provides our team members with training courses and upskilling opportunities to ensure they remain as competitive as possible.

Given Xebia’s expertise in AI, how do you envision AI transforming business operations and client services in the next five years?

Since the early 2000s, Xebia has been at the forefront of data and AI and this has provided us with an ongoing competitive edge. We’ve watched the various AI trends emerge and have continuously stayed ahead of the curve. While applied AI (using ML and other AI techniques to solve specific business problems) will continue to transform businesses and client services, GenAI will rapidly accelerate the creation of entirely new solutions. Over the next five years, the convergence of AI capabilities will empower companies to garner new insights, innovate at scale globally and deliver customers unprecedented personalized experiences.

Generative AI is taking the world by storm, what are your views on it and how is Xebia staying at the forefront of this groundbreaking technology?

The opportunities and advantages presented by GenAI are multifaceted and entirely real. At the same time, so are the challenges. We see three in particular: businesses need to capture the value of AI, manage AI responsibly and in a cost-efficient manner, and master the skills necessary to thrive in the new Hybrid Workforce.

Education will remain a key part of how Xebia stays at the forefront of GenAI. We are committed to helping guide and assist customers through their journey with a full range of AI Workshops and Training Programs, including GenAI Use Case Discovery, GenAI “How To”, and AI-Assisted Software Development Enablement. In addition, Xebia provides Certified Pods/Consultants for implementation, and we can help set up an AI Center of Excellence for businesses to drive the adoption of AI across the organization.

Thank you for the great interview, readers who wish to learn more should visit Xebia.
